Teacher travel (2)

Jennette Arnold: Will you consider working with Boroughs, London Councils and academy chains to offer discounted bikes to teachers and other school staff, to maintain social distancing on public transport for those who cannot walk or cycle?

The Mayor: The Government already operates a system whereby employees can obtain discounts of up to a third of the cost of a new bicycle through the cycle to work scheme. This scheme is available for teachers and other school staff, and they should discuss this with their employers.
